good to c Barnes take a leaf out of CMS book and chasing the ball down which led to ther keepers poor clearance and the Noone goal

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

GM will bottle it. Nailed on there will be some kind of injury that prevents him from playing.

 

[TKC]

I did kinda get the feeling he missed that diving header near the end on purpose

100% agreed

 

[Seagull27]

He wasn't as good as he has been, but I'd put that down more to the fact that the Peterborough team know exactly how he plays and how to play against him.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Notice how despite being substituted he still came on aftr the finish to aplaud the crowd and was last one off

Great to see CMS get such a warm reception from the Peterborough fans both before the game and when he was substituted. Somehow I don't think that Glenn Murray will get such a warm welcome when he returns here in a few weeks time despite scoring 56 goals for the Albion!

Very true, i certainly wont be giving him a warm welcome

 

[bristolseagull]

Thought CMS & Barnes had their quietest games so far this season. Both were well marked.....allowing our midfield to come forward, which they did with aplomb!

Agree with that- they both lacked their usual spark. It was good to see the goals coming from elsewhere though

He's superstitious apparently- always has to be the last to leave the pitch.

 

[Samej]

Not quite the same today, didn't seem to chase everything down like he normally does, don't blame him though.". How would we feel if Zamora did that.

He played his best he looked knackered at the end i fcuking love him he was last off of the pitch again CMS CMS CMS

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Was nice to see the Peterborough fans still giving him a good reception when his name was announced and when he was subbed.

 

[adammicheal]

according to Andy Durham on talk sport he went to visit Peterborough players in their hotel last night,

Beg to differ...I think GM is going to get a warm welcome...I'd go further...his reception is going to be so hot he'll think his stepped into HELL!

 

[Kazenga <3]

The header that he missed he tried to be too clever and try and nod it down into the near post and fool the keeper, no way would he have missed that on purpose at such an inconsequential stage of the season (ie had he scored it would not have relegated boro for instance) and in any case he is too professional for that. I just thought he wasn't given the ball very often today as we spent much of the game battling in midfield hence why he didn't seem as involved.

 

[Seagulls14]

Agree with Kazenga <3. Yh no way he missed that on purpose. even though peterborough hav a place in his heart he wuld want to get as many goals as possible and is to proffesional to do anything like that.

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Hmmm, I'm going to be polite and say maybe he was knackered from Tuesday or maybe he was cleverly marked, but he didn't look interested at any point today. There's plenty of room for sentimentality in football - if you score then don't celebrate, fair enough and personally I agree, but to not look like you're not trying is HUGELY disrespectful to the people who are paying your (substantial) wages.

As I said, I'll put it down to his phenomenal workrate for 120 minutes against Sunderland.

 

[Sheebo]

Thought from the start it would be one of those games where he'd hit a hatrick or do nothing, Sadly it was the 2nd. Great reception for him from the Posh fans though.

Exactly the quote my Dad said before hand - hatrick or nothing! I don't think it was a lack of interest today, he just looked tired and didn't have the best of games. Oh well - we won!

 

[itszamora]

I honestly don't think he looked disinterested or anything, he held the ball up pretty well a lot of the time. As others have said, I think the reason he was perhaps less effective today is because a lot of the game was played in the midfield and we didn't get all that much good service up to him.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

I bet it was an emotionally draining match for CMS, playing against former team mates, made worse by playing extra time on Tuesday too. Hardly surprising he was fatigued.

 

[jezzer]

He was just knackered from tuesday, and it was hardly surprising, any suggestion he wasnt trying or wasnt up for it is utter crap.

 

[Ozymandias86]

Give the guy a break - he has one 'quiet' game against players who know his game inside out and all of a sudden he's colluding with the opposition and disrespecting the club?!?

I bet it was an emotionally draining match for CMS, playing against former team mates, made worse by playing extra time on Tuesday too. Hardly surprising he was fatigued.

Surely it was the combination of this and the ridiculous shift he's put in EVERY other game?
